What does evolution make? Learning in living lineages and machines.

Trends in genetics : TIG
How does genomic information unfold, to give rise to self-constructing living organisms with problem-solving capacities at all levels of organization? We review recent progress that unifies work in developmental genetics and machine learning (ML) to ...

Implications From the Analogous Relationship Between Evolutionary and Learning Processes.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology
Organismal evolution is a process of discovering better-fitting phenotypes through trial and error across generations. This iterative process resembles learning processes, an analogy recognized since the 1950s. Recognizing this parallel suggests that...

Pollen morphology, deep learning, phylogenetics, and the evolution of environmental adaptations in Podocarpus.

The New phytologist
Podocarpus pollen morphology is shaped by both phylogenetic history and the environment. We analyzed the relationship between pollen traits quantified using deep learning and environmental factors within a comparative phylogenetic framework. We inves...

Unsupervised feature selection with evolutionary sparsity.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
The ℓ-norm is playing an increasingly important role in unsupervised feature selection. However, existing algorithm for optimization problem with ℓ-norm constraint has two problems: First, they cannot automatically determine the sparsity, also known ...

Exploring the evolutionary adaptations of the unique seahorse tail's muscle architecture through modelling and robotic prototyping.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Seahorses possess a unique tail muscle architecture that enables efficient grasping and anchoring onto objects. This prehensile ability is crucial for their survival, as it allows them to resist currents, cling to mates during reproduction and remain...

A neural network model for the evolution of reconstructive social learning.

Scientific reports
Learning from others is an important adaptation. However, the evolution of social learning and its role in the spread of socially transmitted information are not well understood. Few models of social learning account for the fact that socially transm...

Colonial bacterial memetic algorithm and its application on a darts playing robot.

Scientific reports
In this paper, we present the Colonial Bacterial Memetic Algorithm (CBMA), an advanced evolutionary optimization approach for robotic applications. CBMA extends the Bacterial Memetic Algorithm by integrating Cultural Algorithms and co-evolutionary dy...

Neuroevolution insights into biological neural computation.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
This article reviews existing work and future opportunities in neuroevolution, an area of machine learning in which evolutionary optimization methods such as genetic algorithms are used to construct neural networks to achieve desired behavior. The ar...

Psychophysiological foundations of human physical activity behavior and motivation: theories, systems, mechanisms, evolution, and genetics.

Physiological reviews
Physical activity is a meaningful part of life that starts before birth and lasts until death. There are many health benefits to be derived from physical activity; hence, regular engagement is recommended on a weekly basis. However, these recommendat...

Neural networks through the lens of evolutionary dynamics.

Bio Systems
This article revisits Artificial Neural Networks (NNs) through the lens of Evolutionary Dynamics. The two most important features of NNs are shown to reflect the two most general processes of Evolutionary Dynamics. This overlap may serve as a new and...
